The list with options can be found here (for now):
http://community.haskell.org/~eelco/poll.html Notice that some (very) similar logos are grouped as one option (thanks to Ian Lynagh) All submissions compete, so that still makes more than a 100 options!
The voting system we'll use is the Condorcet Internet Voting System ( http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html).
So ranking all 100+ items on the Condorcet ballot is a bit of a daunting task. However, if we get a rough idea of the favourites, we can each cut down a bit on the work.
For instance, suppose 82 and 93 are very popular. You might not like either of them, but it's worth ranking them on your ballot (after the ones you do like) if you have a preference between them. But there's less need to rank the ones no-one likes.
I'm pretty sure this is precisely how the system works. You bring the ones you care about to the top and rank them, and everything else shares a rank at the bottom (or you could pick a few of those that you really dislike and put them even lower than the default rank). But the point is that you shouldn't need to rank every single logo, just the ones you care about and then you leave the rest at the default rank. -- Sebastian Sylvan +44(0)7857-300802 UIN: 44640862
